Lummert organ
A nineteenth-century instrument with a Neoclassical case front.
Jazyk obsahu
The present organ dates from the mid-nineteenth century and was built in Lummert’s workshop in Wrocław. It replaced an older instrument that had served the congregation since the seventeenth century. The church’s musical history therefore reaches further back than the surviving organ. Its outward setting is a Neoclassical case front, the façade visible from the church, incorporating pipes and parts of the casing. Within the Baroque interior, it represents a later stage in the development of the furnishings.
Lummert’s instrument had 26 stops. An organ stop controls a set of pipes with a particular tone, rather than a single pipe. The number describes the organist’s options for combining sounds, not the size of the visible façade. In the late nineteenth century, an additional manual keyboard and five stops were added. Work in the early twenty-first century restored the earlier tonal design from Lummert’s time. The instrument’s history therefore includes both enlargement and a later return to its historic form.

This organ was built in Lummert’s workshop in Wrocław in the mid-nineteenth century. Before it, the church had another instrument dating from the seventeenth century. Music therefore accompanied services long before the present organ was built.
The decorative front visible from outside is called the case front. It is Neoclassical in style. Behind it is the instrument, which Lummert gave 26 stops. A stop does not mean one pipe: it controls a whole set of pipes with a particular sound.
Later, another keyboard and five more stops were added. Work in the early twenty-first century restored the instrument’s earlier form. Like the other furnishings, the organ changed over the years.
